Financial blogger David Haggith thinks the global central banks push toward a cashless society is linked to warnings in Bible prophecy against taking the Mark of the Beast in the end times. Haggith’s statements were made during an interview with Rick Wiles of TRUNEWS on Tuesday, when asked which direction he saw the global central banks — and emerging super powers — taking the world’s economy in 2016 and 2017. Rick Wiles proposed during the interview that there are currently three avenues being laid forth by the elite:

The West crashes and the East rises up, becoming the dominant player in the world.

Both sides manage a reset of the global economic system, West gives up prestige in exchange for that concession, while the East assumes the position as a new world superpower and financial center.
